Phil Graham

[Guest]

When Linnett comes back it will be Linnett in at either Centre or Wing Graham at the other spot and Leilua to the bench which I think is right. I actually like the Linnett Graham combination.

Leilua does some special things but he also goes missing for huge strecthes. I can't even remeber him touching the ball yesterday, gave us zero.

I thought he was a lot worse against the Titans.

Please send this guy to ****ing England or France or Souffs immediately. He can put Koups in his suitcase as well

Not really a fan of Graham on the wing. Doesn't really offer much.
Do we have any other good wingers going into the semis? Graham could move to the centre position that has been Linnett/Leilua's recently. Linnett, if he returns, should probably finish his year in lower grades. Leilua can go to the bench.

Did you not watch Linnett's games for us in the centres..??

SKD, Perrett and many other have been labeled passengers, hacks and far worse. Then they score 1 or 2 tries in a game, and those are all jumping up and down praising their names. How fickle many are. When the team lost for the last 3 weeks, there were as many as 6 in the team that cause the loss but it seems that some just get wind of one particular player and they stick it to him. Sure, Graham is not our best ever winger but like many, he was not the only one to blame for our 3 game slump. Dig it?

Linnett was great when he was playing, definitely worth a spot in the 13 when he's fit. Maybe ease him in via Newtown depending on when he's available.

SKD and Perrett actually offer the team something. Graham offers nothing - no commitment, and the only time he makes a difference is when Carney or Pearce practically force him through a hole, after which he'll make 10 metres and get knocked over.

There are better players in lower grades, who will run and tackle harder than Phil the Dill. No place for him in the centres, except at Newtown.

Maybe you should go back in all posts here and the members at the Roosters and I can guarantee you that there are many who were critical of SKD & Perrett. Even in the last few weeks, these two were unfairly critiscised. The only difference with Graham is that Perrett & SKD is that they have had a few years to get their game together but even that wont save them from critiscism when they drop a ball or miss a tackle. I'm Sure this wont make sense to you.

I think the criticism of Perrett was justified. SKD is outstanding. He ****s up sometimes but he is really developing into an excellent centre. Phil the Dill is the weakest link. He offers nothing in attack and ****s up too often which also seems to lead to the opposition scoring. We don't have any other real options at this time of the year but he really looks like a reserve grader to me. We can't have a team of superstars but Phil the Dill and Koups are consistently bad or ordinary at the best. I really hope they prove us all wrong and start lighting the place up. However, somehow I doubt that is goint to happen.

Our right hand side defense has been a problem for a couple of years now. This is because SKD and Perrett have problems reading defense and SKD grabs. He tried to grab Lyons yesterday which he got brushed and they scored. The second SKD rushed out of the line and a quick pass had Pez 2 and 1. Manly scored both tries on that side and that is the side all teams target because they know it is our weak spot. Nobody can complain about the attack except for the occasional brain explosions and Perrett is slow for a winger. Matai on one leg was chasing him yesterday and I think Ballin was the other. Both SKD and Perrett have had atleast 3 years to get their defense right and it doesn't look like they ever will.

It was a good win yesterday but let's not think that all of a sudden everything is roses. Manly are a crap second half team and had injuries. We would have struggled to give any of the other genuine top 8 teams a 14 point start.

For all their mistakes, Perrett and SKD offer something - SKD a shiteload of tries, and Perrett a huge workrate and good metres.

What exactly does Graham do? Even when we're winning.

[BUDDY]

Adam he actually offers something in defense. The left side is quite safe with Graham/Linnett or Graham/BJ. But people keep forgetting he is a much better centre than wing.

How Long Have Perret & SKD been here to offer that 'something'?. They have had their detractors all these many years and I can assure you that when SKD drops a ball that costs a try, you'll see them all come out of the woodwork. At the end of the day, Smith wants them cause he hasn't anyone he feels can do the job. Bringing some young guy who is playing well at Newtown or Toyota cup, at this stage of the comp. is just suicidal and unless it is really necessary, Like Ford for Mini, then Graham will be there until our last game in 2010. So accept it!

[Guest]

C'mon, Perrett has something that Trex wishes he had. SPEED !! Perret smoked when in the clear and he makes yards from Dummy Half.. I will not hear a bad thing said about him.
and Linnett is blatently the obvious choice for the centres.. this guy has potential oozing from his orrifaces...

A couple of weeks ago Phil the dill was the only one that bounced off the big paper sign entering on to the ground against Saints
